update

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been trying to catch up with work and I haven't had much if any free time. It's hectic but I always say it's better to be busy than not, especially in this business.

I've taken up tennis again! I used to play a lot when I was a kid-- between 3 and 5 hours a day from age 11-17. I gave it up as I got older, I played every once in a while but for the last 7 years I've been concentrating on drawing comics. Well, the sedentary life style really started getting to me-- I often felt lethargic so I needed a change and so I decided to get some regular exercise by playing tennis again.

Last week was San Diego Comic Con-- I did not attend the Dark Horse Friday signing. I wasn't supposed to be there at all but I couldn't resist saying hi to old friends so I drove down for Thursday afternoon and spent a few hours at the con. I have a few pics which I still need to download off of my SD card. I'll talk a little bit about the show in my next entry.

In the meantime, I hope you like this colored version of Anakin Skywalker. It was a commission piece I finished a while back and now with colors by Mike Atiyeh. Looks pretty cool. Mike does a nice job of making me look competent.
